- My oozes have gotten away from me. Perhaps I shouldn't have dosed them with Dr. Bleent's—that's me—Ooze Booze. I don't know the strength of my own wonder beverage.
- Would you like me to help?
- Indeed, I would. Do, please, give that giant ooze a lesson in manners, and while you're doing that, I'll harvest enough ooze essence to make a whole keg of Ooze Booze!
- On second thought, you're on your own.
- I work for Parnna. You've heard of her, right? She's the one who designed the chronospatial tuning fork that cut gate travel time in half.
- She sounds great. I'll watch for her.
- Parnna discovered the location of an ancient transfer chamber, on the other side of this crumbling old gate. We're going to go in and see what treasure, mysteries, and knowledge lie within.
- An essential what? Never mind. I'll find a use for it.
- She did it! Parnna made it into the ancient transfer chamber. Will you go help escort her through? I'm worried for her safety.
- Why don't you go in after her?
- She'll be fine.
- I need to stay here and ward off any thieving skritt.
- I'll go help.
- I have other things I need to do.
- Another door? Another door! I can't believe this! What sort of incredible, unfathomable genius puts in a second door? Bravo, Oola. Now, someone find me the crystal!
- Why don't you go look?
- Can't your golem smash it down or something?
- I found this crystal...
- Dunderhead! I've devoted half my life to finding this place, I'm not going to let some passerby sneak in while I'm off scrounging for crystals. Besides, my assistants have proven themselves incompetent.
- Any idea where to look?
- Well, the lock mechanism is humming, but faintly. That means the crystal is indubitably somewhere in the region.
- Any other thoughts?
- Must I be the one to deduce everything? Some idiot may have picked it up, or maybe a creature swallowed it. Get out there and find it, and I'll share a sliver of the glory with you when we get inside.
- Ignoramus! A genius of Oola's magnificence would never employ a door susceptible to mere physical force. Besides, my golem doesn't do smashing.
- So why don't you go find the crystal.
- Oola had an enviable talent for booby traps and ranged weaponry. I've given my golem a powerful shield to counter her security measures. Unfortunately, the power required leaves little for other functionality.
- So you should go find that crystal.
- I'll see if I can find that crystal.
- That's it! You've found it! Quick, go place it in the matrix imprint lock.
- I know just what you need! A dose of Dr. Bleent's famous, old-fashioned, smooth-drinking, thirst-quenching, breath-freshening Ooze Booze! Am I right?
- It's fantastical. It's bombastical! It cures everything from weak knees to jungle fleas. You can't lose when you've got Dr. Bleent's Ooze Booze!
- Sounds great! Do you have some for sale?
- Parnna's been gone too long. I'm convinced something is wrong. I need someone to go in there and find out what happened to her.
- The Cuatl tribe is attacking our village again! Can you help my people?
- Sorry, don't want to get involved.
- Those gaseous little rodents are breaking my concentration! Get the pieces of my gate back or kill them dead! I've had it!
- I recovered parts of the gate!
- Wonderful! There's only so much I can do with these while tuning the gate, but it should help stave off a complete catastrophic deconstruction.
- This could get sticky.
- This antique device is humming with a quiet energy. On its side, there's a small recess in the shape of a crystal.
- Place the crystal in the slot.
- Did the collective send you to help me? I don't need any other permanent krewe members, but I could use you in a temporary capacity.
- Can I ask you a few questions first?
- No free time. Good-bye.
- Absolutely. I'm a font of interesting and useful information.
- What kind of work are you doing here?
- I was browsing old records in the Durmand Priory Library, and I found reference to a transfer chamber used by one of my ancestors. It housed a handful of gates and was a hub for gate travel around the world.
- What's the point of learning this meaningless trivia.
- Give me your best shot. You'll find I'm an excellent interviewee.
- Who was your ancestor?
